So, maybe i'm the exception to the rule.

In a majority of my "experiences" with law enforecement I treat the officer with same respect and dignity that I would treat any other person. It seems to work in my favor. However, my compatriots generally tend to cop an attitude, be standoffish, and argumentitive. Guess who gets a ticket or worse.

I'm not saying there are not officers out there who are complete a-holes. I am saying that people are people no matter whre you go, so you're (your?) bound to find a mix no matter where you look--be it cyclists, police, panhandlers, etc.

Powerless people whine. I'm not saying you should stand there and take it if you're being wronged. By all means stand your ground and show personal integrity if you're in the right and you know it. If you break the law, and you know better, don't get mad just because you got caught.
